Hospital Admission Risk Program (HARP)

HARP services provide specialist treatment, care planning, education and support to help people with chronic and complex health issues to manage independently in the community and reduce the risk of being admitted to hospital.

All our services provide:

comprehensive assessment of the patient, their health and psycho-social issues

education about how the patient can manage their health independently

working with the patient to help them achieve the goals that are important to them

Once a referral has been received, a HARP Clinician will phone the patient to discuss their needs and organise appropriate services. The HARP Clinician will provide the patient with their phone number and patients are encouraged to contact them if they have any concerns.
